Wildfire, Fuel Reduction, and Herpetofaunas across Diverse Landscape Mosaics in Northwestern Forests (2004, background): “Although stream amphibians occur in harvested stands (Diller & Wallace 1996, 1999; Wilkins & Peterson 2000), they often do so at reduced numbers except in coastal areas.”
Fire and amphibians in North America (2003, background): “Stream amphibians in the Pacific Northwest decrease in abundance with increasing inputs of fine sediments after logging (Corn and Bury, 1989; Welsh and Ollivier, 1998; Wilkins and Peterson, 2000; Adams and Bury, 2002).”
A review of the long-term effects of post-harvest silviculture on vertebrate wildlife, and predictive models, with an emphasis on boreal forests in Ontario, Canada (2003, background): “Salamanders, shrews, and some vole species require large and/or moist and decaying woody debris as denning, hunting, resting, or breeding habitat (Clough, 1987; Pough et al., 1987; Nordyke and Buskirk, 1991; Wilkins and Peterson, 2000; Bowman et al., 2000).”
Biodiversity management approaches for stream–riparian areas: Perspectives for Pacific Northwest headwater forests, microclimates, and amphibians (2007, background): “…of streams such as substrate composition are strong predictors of occurrence or abundance (e.g., torrent salamanders [Rhyacotriton] and tailed frogs [Ascaphus]: Wilkins and Peterson, 2000; Adams and Bury, 2002; Russell et al., 2004), and should be considered if management areas are prioritized.”
